What changed?? Scripts no longer working as expected when exporting to live!!
I have a large script in which i invested a huge amount of time. Today i made a minor change to the script only to find out that when i had overwritten the script in ableton it had stopped working as expected. In my script i have 4 modes and correspondingly 4 buttons to switch between the modes. This mode switchinging now is broken amongst other things that are no longer working. So what changed on the server side to export the scripts to ableton? This is a serious issue so please investigate and fix this..
Have you checked in the log area for errors?
I have checked the mode switching functionality in CSS 2.8.5 and it works without issue.
Please check your settings for those mappings and check for errors in the log.
Hi John, after investigating the script i found the following happened:
I have a script in which i use 4 modes. To switch between modes if have 4 switches. In each of these four modes i have 4 mode switch commands that allow me to navigate between the modes with the switches. So i have 4 mode switch commands in the first mode, 4 in the second mode etc.. ( so making a total of 16 mode switch commands ) ( this would be easier if we would have access to a mode zero, but that’s another story ).
So what had happened is the following: upon export your software had set all of these 16 commands to be active on mode 1, hence making it possible to switch from mode 1 to any other mode but making it impossible after that to switch back to mode 1. So i corrected the script, re-exported it and it was working again. So this is most defenitily a bug since there’s no way i had changed these 16 ( 12 in fact ) commands. I hope this gives you an idea about where to look for th issue. Kind regards, Björn.

Hi there Bjorn. I have a similar experience. I did an experiment today and duplicated a script, gave it a slightly different name and put it into Live and it did not behave like the original. Several functions didn’t work, but when I reverted to the original (made earlier this year) they did.
